104. Moses’ Choice

104 MOSES’ CHOICE Hebrews 11:24-26

INTRODUCTION When Moses made his choice; his early life and -environments.

Made while young. (Exodus 2:11.) Most great decisions are made before middle life. How the world views such a choice today.

I. CONSIDER WHAT MOSES DECLINED 1. He refused to be called son of Pharoah’s daughter.

2. The wealth of the world was in Egypt then; Egypt called granary of world.

3. He declined worldly honor-to be king of Egypt.

4. He declined the pleasures of sin and chose to suffer with God’s people.

II THE MOTIVE OF THE CHOICE 1. He had rather be with the humble people of God than the hireling of sin.

2. Not a selfish choice, but to honor God.

3. He had respect unto the recompense of reward.

III. RESULTS OF THIS CHOICE 1. It shaped the course of his life-divided into three periods, forty years each.

2. He became the leader of God’s people.

3. He stands before Pharoah NOW, not as a son or slave, but the representative of God-a type of Christ.

4. What do you think of his choice now?

5. God buried him when he died. (Deuteronomy 34:5-6.) 6. Fifteen hundred years AFTER his death we get a glimpse of him with Chri st on the mountain. (Matthew 17:1-8.) 7. What does the world think of his choice now?

8. Will you make such a choice today?
